ITHACA, New York, Sept. 30 (TNSJou) -- Cornell University issued the following news:
A new study in mice identifies a gene that is critical for short-term memory but functions in a part of the brain not traditionally associated with memory.
The study, "A Thalamic Orphan Receptor Drives Variability in Short Term Memory," was published on Sept. 29 in the journal Cell.
Classical studies of short-term memory have concentrated on the prefrontal cortex . . .
